Anahita’s main interests are in Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Speech Recognition and Data Mining. She has presented her work at various meet-ups, webinars and conferences like PyCon and Data Science Summit.

Hanlin Tang, PhD

Algorithms Engineer, AI Products

Hanlin builds deep learning models in computer vision, and has applied these models to domains such as satellite imagery or computational neuroscience. He also leads the group's AI projects with defense and intelligence agencies. Prior to Intel and Nervana, he investigated recurrent neural networks in human brain as part of his PhD.

Mark Robins

Head of Products, AI Products

Mark earned a BS and MS in electrical engineering from Cornell and Caltech, respectively, where he also studied neural networks. Mark holds an MBA from Harvard Business School. Prior to Intel, Mark served as VP Product for Influitive and, before that, as VP Product for Chegg. Before Chegg, Mark was co-founder/CEO of Grouply, a social networking startup. Before Grouply, Mark was Sr. Director of Product Management at Siebel Systems through its acquisition by Oracle in 2006.

Yinyin Liu, PhD

Head of Data Science, AI Products

Yinyin leads the data science efforts, applying deep learning and Intel Nervana technologies into business applications across different industry domains, and driving the development and design of Intel Nervana Platform. She and the Intel Nervana team developed open-source deep learning frameworks, neon and Intel Nervana Graph, brought state-of-the-art models on image recognition, image localization, natural language processing into the framework and deep learning solutions. Yinyin also has experience in computer vision, neuromorphic computing, and robotics.

Moustapha Ould-Ahmed-Vall, PhD

Senior Principal Engineer, AI Products

Moustapha was a key contributor to a number of performance features in successive Intel processors, specifically the architecture of AVX-512 and its performance evaluation. He has more than 200 patents granted or pending in the areas of computer architecture, performance optimization, HPC, cloud and machine learning and over 20 peer-reviewed research publications.

Anthony Ndirango, PhD

Staff Data Scientist, AI Products

Anthony is an engineer working on deep neural network models and algorithms within the Artificial Intelligence Products Group at Intel. Previously, he worked on a variety of problems at IBM Research, including quantum computing, spintronics and neuromorphic computing. Anthony holds a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked on string theory, as well as topological phases, topological insulators and the fractional quantum Hall effect.
